Should have read these reviews before I joined and ordered trees that are no shows. Total scam.

Says the trees shipped but cannot provide a tracking number. But if I want to pay another $25, they can ship when I request. How about you just ship in a reasonable time without the added extortion?

Arbor trees is a scam . I got a redbud that I think was dead on arrival. It was a twig. We filled all instructions and watered for months. Dead. I got sent another one. Same thing . It was a twig , we filled all instructions, and then it was dead. Do not buy from arbor trees. Instead work with local native growers who can source plant and trees for you. Do not buy from them.

I have at times sent money to arbor day Foundation. Received trees (f you can call them that). This year takes the cake. Sent in donation. Got a notice they could not fill free tree order. Will send two lilac plants and they would send me a FREE RED MAPLE TREE WITH AN ORDER from their treebook plus 14.95 S&H. It's not about free trees or the lack thereof. We can't trust even them anymore. To ask for a reply will be futile. We just have to put the word out.

I bought $600 worth of bare root trees .thay said thay grow in my area .i receved twigs no joke.all died.i called them thay gave me a verry hard time.so thay sent me some replacements all but 1 died.Do not spend your money here! I called again and thay wont take my call.i know how to plant trees i grew up on a farm.this place is a con job!

Extremely slow to send trees, and when they DO send them, they came at the beginning of winter! So as much as I tried to salvage them, the half-dead trees I received were fully dead when it came timr to plant them. To top it off, they sold my information. How do I know? They misspelled my name, so now every time I get a piece of spam mail with that particular misspelling, I know I can thank Arbor Day for it. Don’t waste your time with these clowns.

The stated question by you to answer should not ask: What went wrong? It should ask: What went right? The answer is short and bittersweet. ¶ NOTHING ¶ I cannot get any person to speak to me or correspond with me. I saved all of the pertinent Participant Numbers to no avail. Until some State Attorney{s} decide to work together to prosecute the deep pockets of ADF via Class Action, we are a grain of sand!

Just do NOT! Most of the trees you receive won't be what you ordered. Two of the trees they sent me were listed invasive species when I ordered natives. If you don't know trees super well, you're not going to know the difference. This is completely deplorable! If you try and contact them, they "cannot locate your order"...not that it matters. The one replacement tree I managed to get was also the incorrect species...and an invasive.
